About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The master storyteller - author of The Day of the Jackal - returns, with his most explosive thriller yet.
The Nazis may have lost the battle. But the war is just beginning...
Summer, 2025. A US senator is burned to death in his Washington townhouse. Masked gunmen massacre supporters during a football match in Berlin. And an old man is murdered while he sleeps in the dementia ward of a German hospital. Three apparently unconnected events, three steps on the countdown to apocalypse.
When journalist and podcaster Georg Miller starts joining the dots between them, he finds himself the target of professional killers. His investigation soon reveals that his would-be assassins are from an organisation known as the Odessa, a menacing and powerful Nazi group intent on regaining power.
The Odessa has spread its poison from a covert compound in the Bavarian countryside all the way to the halls of the American Capitol. And now, as their campaign to destabilise the Western political system accelerates, Georg must stop the next attack, before it changes the course of history…
'I loved this book. Breakneck pace and an utterly gripping plot. I loved the characters, the twists and turns, the violence. I hardly had time to catch my breath.' Imran Mahmood
'Explosive, chilling and impossible to put down.' Adam Hamdy
'A twisting, up-to-the-minute thriller that effortlessly blends Forsyth's classic style with Kent's modern pace and punch.' Mason Cross

Critic reviews
The whole book lacks descriptions, relying on the action to carry the characters. The female MC, apart from being a woman of colour, we know nothing else of her, not her shoes, her hair, her taste in clothes. She is like a paper cut-out but she saves the world of course.
Listened to this on holiday in Egypt. This morning at breakfast in the hotel 3 young German males greeted each other with "Heil Hitler" I kid you not.

Would benefit from editing.
Not as good as F. Forsythia writing on his own. I was disappointed and I'm a Forsyth fan.
Similar to Forsyths distinctive style & a sequel to The Odessa File, but lacking.
